Kayce may very well need some muscle to recover Tate, and Beth\/Rip could use a friend in law enforcement to recover Carter.<\/p>\n
Of course all of this would heighten attention on both shows, which would be huge for Marshals. <\/em>The show\u00a0drew decent ratings but received a mix response from viewers.<\/p>\n There’s just one big problem.<\/p>\n Logistically, this would require a massive amount of organization and maybe even a time travel machine. At the moment, neither show is especially organized.<\/p>\n Dutton Ranch<\/em> is bringing in a new showrunner<\/a> for Season 2 and it’s not the same guy in charge of Marshals<\/em>. The two shows are also on different filming schedules.<\/p>\n Season 2 of Dutton Ranch<\/em> was just confirmed<\/a> two weeks ago and, at that time, not every cast member had come to terms with the network. That means filming is a ways off. A spring 2027 Season 2 premiere feels possible if they hustle.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Season 2 of Marshals<\/em> is set to premiere in the fall. Tate’s kidnapping will need to be addressed immediately and if the show holds true to the network procedural formula, it will be resolved within a few weeks. How could Beth and Rip possibly be involved with that?<\/p>\n A creative (read: far-fetched) solution would be to actually advance the plot of Dutton Ranch<\/em> during the first few episodes of Marshals<\/em>. That would mean bringing Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly to CBS for a few episodes to help recover Tate and Carter. This concept is bananas with a capital B, but that would be one way to go about a collaboration on this timeline.<\/p>\n Talking to TV Insider<\/a><\/em>, Reilly and Hauser played very coy when asked about both shows ending with a kidnapping. She said, “Maybe” and smiled when asked if the events were coordinated; he went on about how much he loves working with Grimes.<\/p>\n But they were very open to the idea of a collaboration and admitted Beth’s fondness for her brother may force the issue. The only reason it didn’t happen earlier is rushed planning.<\/p>\n Marshals<\/em> viewers know Kayce Dutton’s wife Monica dies of cancer before the start of Season 1.<\/p>\n This was a “missed opportunity,” Reilly added, “but we\u2019re all both trying to start up these big shows.”<\/p>\n This surprisingly sober evaluation comes before she and Hauser reinforced how they’d like to collaborate with Grimes again. All things considered, a spring hand-off makes most sense.<\/p>\n Imagine this scenario:<\/p>\n Season 2 of Marshals<\/em> needs a little heat ahead of the finale. Previews show Beth and Rip working alongside Kayce. Fans freak out a little, ratings grow and then the next week Season 2 of Dutton Ranch<\/em> debuts.<\/p>\n If there’s overlap, it’s likely to involve very different plot elements for at least one of these shows.<\/p>\n Just two episodes of Dutton Ranch<\/em> Season 1 remain but we count at least 10 burning questions the show must answer to leave us satisfied. Is that even possible?<\/p>\n This list includes spoilers through Ep. 7, “Den of Sin.” We’ve ranked them from least to most important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\nWhy\u00a0a\u00a0Dutton Ranch<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Marshals<\/em>\u00a0Crossover\u00a0Isn’t\u00a0Likely<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“I think that happened before our show started in a story world,” Reilly shared. “I imagine Beth and Rip had gone to Monica\u2019s (funeral) … (Because of) the time thing, we didn\u2019t see it in our story, but I would absolutely imagine that there\u2019ll be some checking in on her brother, and we just didn\u2019t see it this year.”<\/q><\/p>\n
